Dated to your race, not week numbers

Your programme counts back from London. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

Where you can train in Furnace Green.

Furnace Green has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky. The thing to look for is not a Hyrox sticker on the door, it is a sled lane long enough to push on, a spare wall for wall balls, and a rower nobody queues for at 6pm.

Chains with a site here: The Gym, Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing, TeamSport Go Karting. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Furnace Green.

Where to train in Furnace Green

18 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Furnace Green. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.

Closest to the centre you have GYM CRAWLEY, The Gym and Spindles Health & Leisure Club, the nearest of them about 1.4 km out. Ring before you join and ask two questions: is there floor space to push a sled, and can you throw a ball at a wall. Those answers decide more than any membership tier.

K2 Leisure Centre and TeamSport Karting Crawley are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.

The Gym, Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing and TeamSport Go Karting have sites here, so an existing membership may already cover you. If you are joining from scratch, a rolling monthly contract is worth the few extra pounds while you work out which sessions you actually turn up for.

Where to run around Furnace Green

You are well served for measured running around Furnace Green. 3 parkrun courses sit within reach: Tilgate parkrun, Ifield Mill Pond parkrun and Wakehurst parkrun are the closest three, Tilgate parkrun being about 1.2 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.

They spread from roughly 1 km out to 7 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.

Racing from Furnace Green

ExCel is roughly 47 km from Furnace Green, close enough to be a normal morning rather than a trip. That is the one to build towards for a first race: no hotel, no unfamiliar bed, no early train.

Between the race and the 18 places to train listed here, the constraint is rarely equipment. It is the calendar, which is why the programme is dated to a day rather than numbered by week.

Plenty of people train one town over, whether that is a better gym, a flatter route, or simply the one on the way home from work.
